Not sure who here frequents RCGroups, but I am offering kits of the 3D printed cockpit upgrade I recently designed. I posted a blog post there compiling all the information.

Hey Ya'all. I just received the 3DP cockpit and fuselage parts being offered by DirtyDee and these are Sierra Hotel. Simply outstanding workmanship and fit. I will have to post pics when I finish the install. Thanks again for your efforts, DD. Best, Elbee.I solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Today I had a scary thing happen...I have the upgraded mains with the stock nose gear. On the nose gear strut there is a collar at the top of the scissor link, and it is held to the strut by a single, tiny machine screw. That is the only thing holding the wheel and scissor assembly to the strut for steering. As I was rolling out after a landing I lost the steering and it went off the runway into the dirt. Upon inspection I had lost that screw! A few seconds earlier and it would not have been pretty (praise the Lord). Once I find a replacement, I'm going to Locktite it with red...I recommend you guys check yours!! Rob

So for the second time I've somehow lost the little piece that is glued onto the nose gear door that pushes the door out of the way. When I put the second one on I had ever intention of putting a small bolt and nut through it to hold it into place and I didn't.
What I need is the little part with the blue arrow pointing to it. I can once again buy the plastic parts pack that has it but I'd rather just 3D print one.
Has anyone seen the files for one? I checked Thingiverse and came up empty.1 Photo
